Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a bathtub device, and its purpose is to remove impurities (dirt) such as lipid peroxide and fat on the skin surface of a bather by simply taking a bath. To provide a bathtub device which can open the sweat glands of a bather to make him sweat during bathing and promote his metabolism, and allows him to bathe for a long time.

(Prior art and its disadvantages) Conventionally, as a bathing device, it is common to fill a bathtub with warm water (42 to 45°C) and take a bath in this warm water. There is a device that fills a room or a bathtub with hot steam and bathes in contact with this high-temperature steam.

In recent years, various bath additives have been added to this warm water to stimulate the skin and raise the temperature of the skin surface due to the bathing effect. There are many attempts to maintain health by activating cell activity by promoting blood circulation in blood vessels.

However, in general, when bathing in warm water, the sweat glands on the skin surface are usually in a blocked state, and warm water usually promotes sweating in the bather, simply increasing the temperature of the skin surface or the entire body. It only has the effect of

Moreover, the various bath additives that exist to promote the effect of increasing body temperature by adding bath additives to warm water always contain coloring agents, fragrances, etc., and these may contain allergens. Although it is possible to raise the skin temperature, it has the disadvantage of causing skin damage.

On the other hand, although steam baths, sauna baths, etc. that use heated steam do have the effect of promoting sweating, it takes a long time (at least 10 minutes or more) in a very hot and humid bathroom to promote sweating. The drawback is that one has to patiently take a bath, and in a heated steam bath such as a sauna bath, it feels like a training exercise and is extremely painful.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In light of the above circumstances, the inventors have developed a technology that cleans the skin by removing impurities such as dirt, lipid peroxides, oils and fats from the skin surface just by taking a bath. Not only that, it opens the sweat glands and promotes the phlegm-producing effect, and this sweating effect activates the cell activation effect, and the skin N/A degree of the bather does not rise more than necessary, so that bathing becomes painful. for a relatively long time (3
This invention was arrived at as a result of extensive research into bathtub devices that allow bathing (0 to 40 minutes).

(Solution Means) That is, in this invention, a pipe for supplying fluid (heated air, steam, etc.) is disposed inside the bathtub, and the pressure resistance strength of the bathtub is 50K.
This relates to a bathtub device filled with rice bran and a porous material (particle size 5i+clEJ or less) with an internal surface area of 50i/g or more and a particle size of 5i/g or more.

(Structure of the invention) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figure 1, (11 is a bathtub, (2) is a bathtub (1)
It is a porous material filled inside with a pressure resistance of 50 kg/cIA or more and an internal surface area of 50 m/g or more.

In Figures 1 and 2, (3) is a discharge hole for the porous material (2), and (4) is a bathtub (11) disposed in the bathtub (1).
This is a tube that supplies fluid into the interior of the tube.

(5) is a porous support plate that supports the porous material, and (6) is a vibration device for this porous support plate (5).

In the present invention, this porous support plate (5) may be provided as needed and is not necessarily required (see FIG. 4).

This vibrating device (6) consists of a motor (7) and a cam (8), and the rotation of the motor (7) vibrates the porous support plate (5) via the cam (8), causing the bathtub (1) to vibrate. The used porous material (2) can be easily discharged from the discharge hole (3).

This vibrating device (6) is not necessarily necessary in this invention (see FIG. 4).

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing only the lower part of the bathtub body (1), in which the required number of pipes (4) for supplying fluid into the bathtub (1) are arranged in parallel at the required lower part of the bathtub body (1). .

Although the pipe (4) is installed at the bottom of the bathtub body (1) in the illustrated embodiment, it may be installed at the side.

In this invention, the fluid that the pipe (4) supplies into the bathtub (1) includes steam (heated steam), hot air, cold air, and the like.

In this invention, the pressure resistance filled in the bathtub is 50 kg/
The most preferred example of the porous material having an internal surface area of 50 rd/gg or more and cJ or more is charcoal particles.

Such charcoal grains have at least a large number of communicating micropores, an internal area of 100 to 300 rd/g or more, and a pressure resistance, although this varies depending on the quality of the raw materials such as wood, ogalite, pellets, etc. Strength is 10
0 kg/cJ or more can be preferably used.

However, the present invention has such a structure and has a pressure resistance of at least 50 kg/CII! As long as the above porous material (2) has an internal surface area of 50 rrr/g or more, any inorganic or organic porous material such as inorganic pearlite, burcumulite, or porous plastic particles may be used, not just charcoal particles. You may.

In addition, since this porous material comes into contact with the human body, it is preferable that the porous material be as close to nine particles as possible without any protruding parts. In the case of the most preferably used charcoal particles, those that are light and soft and hard to break are preferably used, such as powdered charcoal, magnolia charcoal, alder charcoal, and white birch charcoal.

The rice bran used in this invention is added as a fermentation aid for the decomposition of sweat, etc. Rice bran also has a cosmetic effect on the skin, and the rice bran has a sufficient retention effect.

In this invention, the amount added may be such that it can act as a fermentation aid.

In this invention, the reason why the pipe (4) is disposed in the bathtub (11) is that the porous material (2) in the bathtub (1) is steamed or otherwise heated so that the moisture content of the porous material (2) in the bathtub (1) is at least 30% at the beginning. The porous material (2) with this water content is supplied to the bather (9) when the temperature exceeds 43°C while taking a bath.
This is to control the temperature by supplying hot or cold air so that it can be kept below °C.

Therefore, in this invention, the porous material (2) is
When filling the porous material (2) into the bathtub (1), steam is supplied from the pipe (4) after impregnating it with hot water of 43°C Iu in advance and then filling it into the bathtub (1). Moisture was supplied to the porous material (2) so that the temperature of the porous material (2) could be maintained at 43°C or higher, and then hot air was supplied through the steam pipe (4) to maintain the temperature at 43°C or higher. 60
Control the temperature to below °C.

Although a temperature control device is not shown in the illustrated embodiment, the temperature control device may be electrically automatically maintained at a set temperature or may be manually controlled.

In this invention, when the porous material (2) reaches a high temperature of 60°C or higher, cold air is sent out from the steam pipe (4) to control the temperature so that the temperature becomes 60°C or lower.

Normally, in the bathtub device according to the present invention, it is desirable that the depth of the bathtub be about 1 m.

In the bathtub device according to the present invention having such a configuration, the bathtub (1) is first filled with the porous material (2), and the porous material (2) is maintained at a temperature of 43°C or more and 60°C or less. When a bather (9) takes a bath as shown in the first diagram, the porous material (2) adsorbs various bodily excreta that adhere to the skin surface of the bather (9), and the adsorbed bodily excreta It is decomposed by fermentation bacteria that adhere to or have been made to adhere to the porous material (2).

At this time, the temperature of the porous material (2) further increases due to fermentation heat.

In this invention, the moisture content of the porous material (2) is set to 30%.
By setting the temperature to a certain level, fermentation bacteria usually undergo natural fermentation, and this fermentation heat stimulates the skin surface, opening the sweat glands on the skin surface to promote sweating, and promoting skin metabolism and microvascular blood circulation of the bather. Become.

However, in fermentation using fermentation bacteria, even if a bather is exposed to high temperatures of 43°C or higher, their body temperature is regulated due to sweating and hardly rises. As the head of the bather (9) is outside the bathtub and exposed to the cold air, the head of the bather (9) is exposed to the cold air for a considerable period of time (for example, 2
, 30 minutes, sometimes an hour).

In some cases, this porous material (2) may contain cypress oil,
Addition of a plant extract such as coniferous oil can provide additional comfort to the bather due to its aroma, and can also eliminate bad odors caused by fermentation of the bather's excrement.

After bathing, all you have to do is wash your body with water in the shower.

In the bathtub, if necessary, hot air of 100°C or higher can be blown out from the pipe (4) to completely remove and decompose skin exudates, or the nitrogen content in the porous material can be removed by bathing several times. When the amount reaches 1.5%, the porous material can be taken out and used effectively as a soil conditioner containing organic matter.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, the bathtub device according to the present invention is provided with a pipe for supplying fluid inside the bathtub, and has a pressure resistance of 50%.
Since it is a bathtub device filled with rice bran and a porous material with an internal surface area of 50 rrr/g or more, it promotes perspiration in the bather, enhances the cell activation effect, and promotes blood circulation in microvessels. Moreover, it has the effect of cleaning the skin surface without washing it with a detergent.
